We are excited to announce that the conductor for band blast will be Amy McLennan!
With a Bachelor of Music from the University of Calgary, and a Bachelor of Education from Queen’s University, Amy McLennan has taught music at the elementary and secondary levels nation-wide for the past several years in both English and French.
Amy has earned awards from the Ontario Band Festival, the Alberta International Band Festival, Kiwanis Calgary, and Musicfest Canada for outstanding musical performances with her beginner, junior, and senior high school bands. She has been a guest conductor for various honour groups and continues to work as an active clinician. Amy has also lead national and international musical tours, taking her senior high school concert band to Europe in 2014 where they traveled through Italy, Austria, and the Czech Republic, and most recently traveling through Portugal and Spain in March 2016.
As a passionate conductor, Amy attended the Canadian Wind Conductor’s Development Program in Winnipeg for two years, as well as spending time at The Juilliard School in New York City to further her conducting artistry. Working alongside her mentor and teacher Dr. Glenn Price, Amy was the Associate Conductor of the University of Calgary Wind Ensemble during the 2010-11 academic year. She has also successfully led community organizations such as the All-City Wind Ensemble as a part of the U of Calgary community music program, Voix des Rocheuses (Calgary's Francophone choir) and most recently, the Mississauga Pops - a group focused on entertaining audiences both young and old with a variety of pop, jazz and classical repertoire.
Amy currently works as the senior music teacher at Holy Trinity School, a co-ed university preparation school in Richmond Hill, Ontario where she leads the Intermediate and Senior Concert Bands, as well as the Senior Jazz Band.
